Publication number: 20190185224Abstract: A container that includes a container body and a securely attached container lid. The container lid can form an airtight and/or liquidtight seal between the container lid and the container body when the container lid is in the fully closed position and locked position. The container lid is attached to the container body by a hinge. The container lid includes a seal member, cover window portion, and an outer rim portion having a plurality of lid latches. The latches are configured for movement between an unlatched position in which the container contents can be accessed and a latched position in which latch features engage fastening members to secure the container lid in the fully closed and locked position to the container body.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2019Publication date: June 20, 2019Inventors: Anthony DeCarlo, Lisa Brady, Curtis Taylor, Matthew Hanson

Publication number: 20190185225Abstract: A lid assembly outfits a liquid container and may function to position a liquid-permeable container relative to the liquid container. The lid assembly may include a lid body having a rim-receiving groove, an object-supportive depression, and a primary liquid-letting aperture. The primary liquid-letting aperture primarily enables liquid egression from the liquid container. The object-supportive depression supports objects and defines a tertiary liquid-letting aperture for outletting liquid into the liquid container. A lid body insert may be received and supported by the lid body in superior adjacency to the object-supportive depression and has a secondary liquid-letting aperture and an insert axis. The lid body insert is rotatable about the insert axis intermediate open and closed lid positions such that the secondary liquid-letting aperture is rotatably positionable either in superior or lateral adjacency to the primary liquid-letting aperture for selectively opening and closing the lid assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2018Publication date: June 20, 2019Inventor: Pavel Savenok

Publication number: 20190185226Abstract: A synthetic resin container lid (2) has a shape including a body (4), which is mounted on a mouth-neck portion (56) of a container by locking a locking means (26) to a locked means (58) of the mouth-neck portion (56), and an upper lid (6) coupled to the body (4) via a hinge means (32). The synthetic resin container lid (2) is improved so that the entire container lid (2) is fully and easily detached from the mouth-neck portion of the container. The axial depth of an annular or arcuate groove (46) formed in a hanging wall (10) of the body (4) and extending in a circumferential direction is changed as required. At least in a second break region (B) and a third break region (C), a circumferential breakable line (53) extending continuously in the circumferential direction along an axially lower end part of the groove (46) is formed in the hanging wall (10).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2017Publication date: June 20, 2019Applicant: NIPPON CLOSURES CO., LTD.Inventors: Toru SAHARA, Satoru SHIMADA, Takashi SUGIYAMA
